I suspect that if Darkthrone ever regressed they'd get off the train at Soulside Journey instead of Trainsilvanian Hunger. Wouldn't that get up a lot of noses. I doubt Fenriz ponders ways in which to annoy stuck in the mud black metal devotees whilst he grooms his Paul Speckmann-esque beard on those long and cold northern nights but that would be a great troll.

A segue approaches...

Master's first album is pretty much Death Strike mark 2, four of the songs were Death Strike songs anyway which is why I like it more than the follow up which is a better album but it doesn't have the direct Death Strike link. I also tend to associate this with From Beyond by Massacre since I first heard both in the same week but it was Master that came out on top. From Beyond is just a burger where Master is a burger with relish.

I may have been disappointed in Wintersun's Time I, but I'll just pretend that Ne Obliviscaris' "Portal of I" is actually Time I from another line in time. Because it's simply one of the best albums I've heard in a while.

Portal of I was by far my favorite album of 2012. And I've really been meaning to get into Wintersun's stuff, so I'll give that a go shortly.

What do you folks think of Intronaut? Their earlier stuff was more sludgey and raw but I think they've finally found their sound with their latest album. They aren't brutal or anything, but god damn if the vocal harmonies and bass aren't wonderful.

While certianly old hat and shit no-body cares about, all the fuss I can see being kicked up around Fez made me want to listen to Burzum. Why? An artist some people refuse to touch the work of because of their views.
